Wonderful Color Fashion Photography of the 1950s

There are two main silhouettes in '50s fashion – the wasp waist with full skirt and the slim fitting pencil skirt. Both are iconic '50s looks that prevailed until 1956 and can be portrayed as super sexy or fun and flirty – depending on how you wear them.

The beauty of the 1950s era is that there is a 'look' that will suit any body shape – the more womanly the better. For those of us who lack curves, these can be created easily with a bit of help from belts, foundation garments and plenty of net and padding!

Here's a collection of wonderful photographs display of 1950s fashion by Georges Dambier. His photos have influcenced fashion designers and capture the essence of the classic '50s woman!
